There is one place in the world that should always make you feel happy and that place is your home. Use these ten ways to ensure that you are always feeling gratified in your home.

  1. Make Your Bed. This simple task will take you about three minutes to accomplish each morning, but will positively impact your happiness. Enforce this habit to brighten your morning.
  2. De-clutter Every Room. It is a known and proven fact that clutter causes stress. Getting things in order will create a haven in your mind. We understand if you have a partner or children who simulate earthquake-type messes. Just take a couple of minutes to put a room back to “ready” before you exit it.
  3. Display Treasured Items. Avoid displaying material things and decorate with memories. You will notice the circle of enjoyment when you do this; make your home a gallery of positive memories.
  4. Start a Journal. Keeping a journal can be time consuming. Keep it short and sweet by adding a one line of gratitude each day before bed. Reflect on the happiness memory of the day, this way you can look back on the good times when you are feeling blue.
  5. Get into your Chores. We understand that completing task that is unfavorable can be torture. Once you conquer loving your routine, you will not mind doing it day to day. Turn on the music and finish your daily chores. Not only getting them done will be fulfilling, you will be taking part in number two on this list as well!
  6. Spend money on a Family-Friendly Addition. The best way to get this done is by turning your family room into a relaxing and fun environment for the whole family to enjoy. Get a game table and set a game night that your whole family should take part in once a week. You can do the same as a movie night. Create positive events in this room just for you and your family!
  7. Fill Your Home With Plants. It has been proven that being outside in nature can boost your mood. The same can take part within your home; add plants and flower arrangements to your home to decorate a room, remove toxins, and create a happier space.
